Posted by simoniker on from the puh-nug-guh dept.

Libpng release 1.2.6rc1 addresses the problems covered by this CERT announcement, and can be obtained from the libpng Sourceforge project. A fully tested version is to be released in the next few weeks."

    I wonder how long it will take Apple to update the apache php4lib.so on its system. They have a pretty good track record on bug fixes

    I dont' get trolling, it isn't funny, and thanks to moderation, it isn't even annoying. So, why do people still try, I don't see a fucking point. It's stupid, it's old, and I'm feeding one.
